For Rep. John Lewis, Georgia Democrat, gun control is a matter of debate, just as civil rights was in the 1960s. But is a sit-in on gun violence really what we need?

The killings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando earlier this month were terrible, hateful acts. But they show that with or without sit-ins, crimes involving guns can still be committed in a lovely place like America.

The Democrats must not give up hope simply because this type of crime can be committed. Instead they and we must involve the constitutional process on the issue of safety and gun rights. Sit-ins will not solve this gun mess.
